When the LiferayIAM modules are deployed and properly configured the user interface change in few component. The login portlet will include, among the other enabled protocols, the new INDIGO AAI authentication method, as shown in the following picture:

If a user clicks on INDIGO AAI a pop-up window is created with the IAM login page. After the login the pop-up page is automatically closed and the user is authenticated in the portal.

When a new user try to access the portal, he/she has to provide the consensus to release the tokens to the Liferay based portal.
